The Imagine Surf V2 Wizard Angler SUP is built tough, that is aimed at recreational users or those planning to fish off their SUP.

Features
The most noticeable feature which comes to mind when talking about this paddle board is that it feels virtually indestructible! The board has been made using blow-molded polyethylene, much in the same way as kayaks are constructed. It will take all but the most serious abuse, and wont even blink in the event you drag it through a rocky river side.

You get a lot of storage with the Imagine Surf V2 Wizard Angler SUP. This consists of 2 hatches for storing (one at either end of the paddle board), a cargo bay, and deck bungees. Also included is a built-in flip up seat back, meaning if you have been out paddling for a long time, you can take a rest from standing and paddle the board a lot like a kayak.

For fishing enthusiasts, the Angler has 4 fishing rod mounts, two rod holders, and two drag-anchor cleats.

Because of the Imagine Surf V2 Wizard Angler SUP having a 336 liter capacity, it can effortlessly hold two individuals, or any mixture of kids, dogs, camping gear - the maximum load capacity is 305lbs (138kg).

Dimensions
The Imagine Surf V2 Wizard Angler SUP is eleven feet long (11’), and is thirty-five inches (35”) wide and eight inches (8”) thick. What this means for you is complete buoyancy within the water. You'd practically need a boat to hit you to fall off this thing!

With regards to fishing off a SUP, these types of dimensions are excellent - the last thing you want to be doing is struggling to get your catch on board whilst trying to keep your balance!

This paddle board does weigh in at 70 lbs (31kg), so is heavier than some other SUPs out there. If you don't have much in the way of upper body strength, it may be challenging to move across long distances, although this is very easily solved with a SUP/Kayak pull along trailer.

Accessories
The Imagine Surf V2 Wizard Angler SUP includes the following accessories:

• Full EVA Deck Pad
• A Built-in Seat Back
• Two Storage Hatches
• A Cargo Bay
• Both Front and Rear Gear Bungee
• Two Paddle Holders
• Four Carry Handles
• Snap In Fin
• 4 fishing rod mounts
• 2 rod holders
• 2 drag-anchor cleats

Brand information
Imagine Surf started in California during 2006. Everyone in the company loves paddle boarding and share a common approach to help make paddle boarding as accessible as possible everybody. Their tag line "We make Paddleboarders" is the basis of this philosophy, and it is replicated in each board they build. They also have Iconic Waterman, SUP pioneer and board designer, Dave Kalama, as an important part of their design team.


Performance
The Imagine Surf V2 Wizard Angler SUP will not win any races or beauty pageants, however it will get you where you're going, although at a far more moderate speed than other stand up paddle boards.
This stand up paddle board is great in choppy water, and seems not to get the “slap“ that other SUPs can get in rough conditions. You will not be falling off in any jetski wake with this baby!

Consumer ratings/reviews
A solid Stand up paddleboard of quality and durability that is great for beginners and even those more advanced. A good trial before you purchase more top of the line SUP - but you'll have enough experience to know it's a sport you want to continue to pursue. Great value.

I ordered this board for myself after kayaking on the Pugent Sound and having to leave the dogs behind. I was looking for something we could use and still be able to take the dogs along. During the first trip out on the new boards, our 6 month old puppy decided he wanted to go to and swam out to my husband. He was able to easily help the dog onto the board where he rode for 4-5 hours.

I am new to sup, but I have been surfing for years. I got this board mostly for cruising and fishing. This board is perfect for that as it is super stable and very bouyant. I can fit myself at 180 lbs and my dog at 70 no problem. I can easily see myself using this board for river camping trips that I used to use a canoe for.

Pros

• Constructed tough
• Terrific buoyancy
• Outstanding usage of deck space
• Great for either fishing or relaxing

Cons

• Rather heavy
• No paddle

Price
To buy such a tough stand up paddle board that may also be used much like a kayak, you might normally be paying out over $2000, so to have the ability to get the The Imagine Surf V2 Wizard Angler SUP under $800 is an excellent deal.

The Imagine Surf V2 Wizard Angler SUP Summary

This paddle board is ideal for those wishing to go fishing on their SUP, or to have a more relaxed experience paddling in a variety of conditions. The Imagine Surf V2 Wizard Angler SUP has excellent dimensions for all of the above, and can also keep you upright in the most trying conditions ( and also includes lots of room to maneuver on the deck).
